Comments from the seller
1978 MGB Convertible | Old English White | Excellent Condition | Chrome Bumper Conversion
A beautiful example of the iconic British MGB roadster, in classic Old English White with a contrasting black interior and chrome bumpers.
After 10 wonderful years of ownership, I have reluctantly decided to part with this much-loved classic.
This 1978 MGB has been carefully maintained, always garaged and is presented in excellent condition. Originally fitted with rubber bumpers, it has been converted to the more desirable classic chrome bumper appearance, complementing its timeless British sports car styling.
With its elegant lines, classic styling and open-top driving experience, it is a wonderful car for weekend drives, coastal outings or simply enjoying a piece of British motoring history.
